INSTALLATION & OPERATION
APPLICATIONS
Standard air compressors are single-acting, air-
cooled machines. Typical compressors are fur-
nished as compact, self-contained, air receiver
tank mounted units that are automatically
regulated and driven by an electric motor. An
air-cooled after cooler, low oil level shutdown
switch and automatic drain valve are among
the optional accessories that can be furnished.
Bare compressor pumps and baseplate-mount-
ed units are also available. These compressors
may be used for a variety of compressed air ap-
plications.
Application of these compressors as either
a primary or supplementary source of air is
virtually unlimited in industrial plants, service
stations and auto repair shops. Supplementary
service includes such uses as furnishing air at
pressure not carried in regular shop lines, air at
isolated locations, and standby service for air
when larger compressors are shut down.
GENERAL INFORMATION
This manual provides safe and reliable instruc-
tions for the installation, operation and main-
tenance of your air compressor. Carefully read
this manual before attempting to operate or
perform any maintenance. If you are uncertain
about any of the instructions or procedures
provided in this manual, contact an authorized
service center. We recommend you retain this
manual, and all publications provided with
your air compressor, in a location which is ac-
cessible to all personnel who operate and ser-
vice your compressed air equipment.
RECEIPT & INSPECTION
Ensure adequate lifting equipment is available
for unloading and moving the unit to the in-
stallation site.
NOTE: Lifting equipment must be properly
rated for the weight of the unit.
CAUTION: Lift the unit by the shipping skid
only. Do not use the motor lifting eye to lift the
entire unit. The motor lifting eye is for remov-
ing the motor from the unit only.
CAUTION! Do not work on or walk under
the unit while it is suspended.
INSTALLATION
NOISE CONSIDERATIONS. Consult local officials
for information regarding acceptable noise
levels in your area. To reduce excessive noise,
use vibration isolator pads or intake silencers,
relocate the unit or construct total enclosures
or baffle walls.
MOUNTING
WARNING: Remove the unit from the skid
before mounting. The compressor must be
bolted to a firm, level, solid foundation (such
as a concrete floor) using the vibration isola-
tion pads. Installation on I-beams, open-grid
flooring systems, or non-solid surfaces is not
recommended.
A) Level concrete floor
B) Foundation bolt /
anchor
C) Isolation pad
D) Compressor mount-
ing foot
E) Washer
F) Nut
NOTE: Failure to install the unit using the pads
provided with the unit and in accordance with
the installation instructions as outlined in the
operator’s manual may result in mechanical
failure to the compressor and cancellation of
package warranty coverage. URREA bear no
responsibility for equipment installed on non-
approved vibration isolation mounts or non-
solid surfaces.
After the unit has been anchored into position,
check the unit for level by placing a level on
the subbase and checking the readings from
side-to-side and from front-to-back. Use metal
shims under the “short” feet if necessary to
obtain level.
INSTALLING DISCHARGE PIPING
WARNING: Do not use plastic pipe, sol-
dered copper fittings, rubber hose, or lead-tin
soldered joints anywhere in the compressed air
system.
NOTE: All compressed air systems generate
condensate which accumulates in any drain
point (e.g. tanks, filters, drip legs, after coolers,
dryers). This condensate contains lubricating
oil and/or substances which may be regulated
